About the Monument
The Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument is a genuine biodiversity hotspot, located about 130 miles off Cape Cod. Established in 2016, the monument supports a multitude of marine species, including ancient corals, rare fin fish and marine mammals.
This area plays a critical role in bolstering threatened and endangered species throughout the region, including humpback whales, endangered wright whales, loggerhead sea turtles, bottlenose dolphins, and many others. Recent expeditions into the monument have led to incredible advancements in marine sciences—new species have been discovered with each expedition!
The Biden administration is taking steps to ensure that this national treasure is protected for generations to come. Join the virtual deep dive to learn about what makes this area so important!
Thank you for joining us. Together we make a difference!
Sincerely,
Your friends at CCE
